I watched the entire documentary including the extra features. I want to say that I was initially discouraged by the following statement on the back of the boxset cover: "This DVD is not authorized by all the Byrds or by Columbia records."
This statement probably represents why Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman are notably absent.
I would have also liked to have seen some type of old video clips of interviews with Gene Clark, Gram Parsons, Clarence White, Michael Clarke, Skip Battin, Terry Melcher and Jim Dickson if they even exist.
I enjoyed everything that York, Parsons and others shared about each album. I guess that I got bored at times not seeing a "fresh" speaker share a different viewpoint. Overall, I think that it is a must for all Byrd fans. |
